1593 A Rich Junior Sister
Li Chenhui: [This car belongs to Junior Sister’s family!]
Li Chenhui did not stop there. He tapped on his camera and clicked several pictures of their hotel room from a few angles and sent it to the chat group.
Li Chenhui: [This room costs a six-digit figure per night, but Junior Sister’s family booked it for us.]
One thing was for sure, his junior sister’s family was very affluent!
Rong Jun could not believe his eyes. He recalled Huo Yao mentioning wanting cash prizes last year like it meant a lot to her.
Rong Jun laughed patronizingly: [Hehe.]
He proceeded to get out of the group chat and gave Wu Yue a voice call.
Wu Yue was standing behind Li Chenhui, watching him send the text messages. When he heard his phone ring, he took out his phone. The moment he saw it was Prof Rong, he was at a loss.
Wu Yue’s cheek twitched as he pressed the button to answer. Before he was able to speak, Rong Jun shouted through the phone.
“Can you do something about the students, especially Li Chenhui? He keeps pretending and bragging. It’s really getting out of hand.”
Wu Yue turned to Li Chenhui, who had just been accused of pretending. Wu Yue cleared his throat and put the phone on hands-free mode and said in all honesty, “Li Chenhui wasn’t lying. The pictures are real. Huo Yao’s family even made arrangements for us to dine at the poshest restaurant in town.”
Rong Jun did not know what to say.
Were his ears playing tricks on him or were they bonkers?
Prof Rong said nothing and Wu Yue was not entirely sure how Prof Rong had concluded Huo Yao came from a poor family, so he simply said, “From the looks of it, she isn’t poor at all.”
Rong Jun was stunned. If she was from a rich family, it made no sense for her to keep harping on cash awards.
Then again, it was impossible for Wu Yue to lie about this. Rong Jun promptly recalled telling his students to send money to Huo Yao and his ears turned red. However, he replied with a straight face. “Did I ever say she was poor?”
Li Chenhui, Wen Ping, and Ying Qi were bewildered.
Their teacher was getting better at bullshitting every day.
He had clearly mentioned that she did not come from a rich family. He even told them not to hurt her feelings when they helped her financially.
Wu Yue glanced at his students and said, “I have my phone on hands-free.”
Rong Jun went speechless.
In an instant, Prof Rong hung up the phone. As long as he did not act awkwardly, he was still in control somehow.
Wu Yue put down the phone and looked at the students. He cleared his throat and spoke on behalf of Prof Rong. “I think he was probably too busy to figure it out and made a small mistake about this.”
Li Chenhui, Wen Ping, and Ying Qi glanced at each other in unison.
This had nothing to do with Prof Rong’s busy schedule and it was hardly a small mistake. Fortunately, no one asked Huo Yao about it previously. Otherwise, it would be a real embarrassment.
Since their little junior sister was loaded, it genuinely felt satisfying.
They could brag about this among their friends for years.

Huo Yao watched from behind as Huo Changfeng left the hotel. As she walked back into the lobby to take the lift up, she pondered and took out her phone.
Her phone was very quiet. She did not even have a single notification or missed call.
Huo Yao did not press for the lift right away. Instead, she swiped down to Min Yu’s number in her phone book and narrowed her eyes.
He seemed awfully busy recently.
Huo Yao’s hands paused briefly before she dialed his number.
